 | |  |  | Calle Larios: Watch the world go by | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
Calle Larios, a pedestrianised avenue, a shoppers paradise, and a great place just to sit and people watch! If youre lucky there may be a pavement table free at the wonderful Lepanto cafe (see restaurants) where with a cafe con leche you can while away an hour or so studying the diversity of Malagas public. The Malagüeñan females of a certain mature age, all tend to look very much alike...same colured hair with same hairstyle, same style of dress,lots of gold bracelets and necklaces....classy not tacky...Come winter they bring out the furs, in summer classic linen suits, expensive shoes and handbags. The males...well masculine fashion hasnt changed much in the last few decades, so its still suit and tie, highly polished leather shoes and their lady on their arm. The Spanish love to pasear (take a stroll)and usually about 8pm the streets are full of couples and families strolling and chatting or stopping to greet a neighbour or friend, until almost midnight when the night air is cooler for going home to bed and sleep. Such contrast to the visiting tourists in shorts and sandals, backpacks and cameras and the fun there is to try and guess what nationality they are! Directions: Near Port.

Whether it is because of its nice atmosphere or really just because of the street name, I wouldn't be able to tell you, but the c/Marqués de Larios or just c/Larios is a very famous street in Malaga. The Marqués de Larios was a marqués or (dont hang me up on this, but I believe the English word to be) duke, born in 1801 - but I do believe that the street now is more famous for having the same name as the gin (Larios) than having the name of a marqués! If you would like to now more about the Spanish marqués you can do it on www.larios.com (NB. the page is in Spanish) Leave a Comment
